Night guards / Sports guards
It’s estimated that close to 20% of adults suffer from the negative effects of grinding and clenching their teeth, often called as bruxing. Tooth grinding typically occurs at night when patients have no way of knowing they even do it. If left untreated, bruxism can cause broken, chipped or cracked teeth, headaches and Temporo-mandibular joint disorders. A night guard is a common treatment to reduce these symptoms and protect your teeth.
Why get a night guard from your dentist?
​
There are several benefits to choosing a custom-made nightguard by a professional dentist.
To begin, custom-made night guards use detailed moulds of your teeth, making them a more comfortable choice. Dentist will also consider the alignment of your jaw during the fitting process to ensure your night guard won’t place unnecessary stress on the joint which could lead to other problems.

Athletic mouth guards
​
If you or your kids play sports, you need a properly fitted sports guard to protect against damage to your teeth and previous dental work if any. After all, a single blow to your mouth can easily cause tooth fracture, tooth dislodgement, or damage to your crowns, bridges, porcelain veneers, or dental implants. Athletic mouth guards that are form-fitted to the teeth prevent trauma to the teeth during athletic activity. Custom mouth guards fabricated by a dentist not only provide the best protection, but also remain in place better which makes it easier to breathe and speak during athletic activity.
All it takes to protect your teeth is one simple, painless visit.
